The State Lunatic Asylum.

Our readers will remember the hot
haste in which DIR. Denton, late sup
erintendcnt Of the above institution,
was removed on the incoming OF the
present State administration. A new
superintendent was installed who al
most Immediately signalized himself
by discharging rs cured some OF the
worst cases OF insanity in the institu-
ton. The consequence was that in
q short time he was compelled to
take them back. 1t appears to have
been In order to divert the public
attention from this remarkable exhi-
bition that certain enemies Of DR..
Denton, in and out Of the Legislature,
moved an investigation, charging
him with misappropriatlng the funds
of the institution, and with permit
ting gross immoralities between the
employees and female occupants
therein. The investigation was con-
Quoted in an ex-parte manner, DR..
Denton's request even to be permit
ted to be present being denied. Not
word was said by the committee to
his credit fer the well known able
and efficient manner in which
he performed his official duties
and the many and important
improvements made by him. DR..
Denton has just published in the
Statesman and Galveston News full
and truthful answer to all the charges
made, in the light of which the charge
of defalcation vanishes and the other
charges are equally effectually dis
posed of. We have not space for
the Doctors statement, but commend
it to the perusal Of all. It will COM
mend itself to all fair-minded people
by it's manly, dignified and truthful
tone, in addition to the proofs of the
material points given.
It seems to us shameful that scand-
als of this sort should be sown broad
cast to be sent out and commented
upon to the detriment of this State
throughout the Union, without rea-
sonable warrant, or to bear out a
vicious policy of making the manage
ment of our benevolent institutions a
reward for partizan services, without
regard to the best interests of the
people, and especially of the unfor,
tunate inmates. We hope to see a
public sentiment created which shall
prevent this sort of political "truck
and dicker;" so that men who have
been proved competent for the sup
erintendency of said institutions shall
be retained during good BEHAVE our.
The public interest, common human
ity and decency alike demand this
reform.

The Taylor, nastrop and Houston Rail-
ad.---when II Is 10 be Completed 10
San Marcos, Etc.
We met Capt. Mcbride at the de-
pot in Aastin one day last week, and
while waiting for the train made
some inquiries OF him as TO the real
status OF the above enterprise, with
respect TO its coming to San Marcos.
There having been an industrious Of
fort OF late in certain quarters to
create middle over this matter, and
even 10 throw doubt as TO the fact Of
its coming to this place, we feel that q
statement OF the real facts is called
for at this time. We found Capt
Mcbride fully posted on this subject
and prompt in giving the information
in his possession. He began by say
ing that some misunderstanding had
probably grown out OF the reports, As
first given out that Mr.. Hooper, the
vice president Of the Missouri Pacific,
had said that work would probably
begin on tho road at this place this
spring. Capt. Mcbride said that
such statement or similar ono was
actually made in conversation IN the
preliminary interviews concerning
the matter, but when the contract
came to be prepared and signed, a
modification was deemed advisable by
Mr.. Hooper, so rs to cover any pos
siblo contingency, and by tho con-
tract the railroad company bind
themselves to complete the road
within the present year, or by Janu-
airy LIST, 1888 Capt. Mcbride said
that the contract, duly executed by
both parties, was in his safe, and
there was not nor never had been the
slightest manifestation on the part OF
the railroad company Of any purpose
or desire to depart from it in any re-
spect. On the contrary, MIR. Hooper
has repeatedly given his assurance
that the contract would be fulfilled
to the letter, and authorized MIR.
Mcbride to say to our people to pay
no attention to any reports of a con-
trary character coming from any
source whatever. The work will be,
gin at this point in ample time time
for it's completion in accordance with
the contract.
This would seem to be sufficiently
explicit, and we trust will relieve the
agonized feelings of those dear friends
of San Marcos, Rev. Col. Rogers, the
Kyle Times and the Blanco Star Vim
dicator. We regret the facts we
have given were not published at the
start, rs such authorized publication
would have precluded the middle
which it has been attempted to create
over otherwise very plain and simple
truths.

Anti Constitution Meeting.

EDITOR GAZETTE On Tuesday evening,
July 26, a mass meeting was called by the
natives for the purpose of discussing the new
CONSTITUTIONAL few Office holders here
mostly policemen) under the old regime,
have been stirring up the natives into pro-
tests against certain clauses in the new Con-
stitution. Mischievous papers, printed in
Honolulu, protesting against the new Con-
stltution, and petitioning the King to call
convention under the OLD order of things,
are being circulated, Gni 1t was ~ gain
signatures to this paper that the meeting
was called. A great deal of fzz and froth
was fired off about the rights of Hawaiian5.
few of the leading foreigners present, on
being asked to speak, showed how to go to
work to alter the new constitution in case it
was found defective, and asked the natives
to be careful about following the lead of
those opposed to the new Constitution.
Their remarks we're well received. The
meeting was peaceable and, but for the dis
turbance caused by an old kamsainG, who was
evidently not blue ribbon man, orderly and
qulet.--A few signatures were obtained,
mostly of boys and fellows "about town."
The general sentiment CT the better class
of natives here seems to be for law and order,
and though there is very general feeling
amongst them that parts of the new Consti-
tuition might be better, the majority of the
more influential natives discountenance the
petitions which are calculated to make the
kanaka FESTIVE and bitter.
A political meeting at Laupahoehoe Friday
evening, July %, ended IN little better than
fracas among the natives. Certain parties
were ordered out of the house and upon
refusing to go the lights were extinguished,
thus ending the meeting but not the loud
talking which was kept up outside for some
time.
In Hsmakua the people have been stirred
up and are pushing things for the coming
elections. The feeling there is strongly in
favor of the new order of things.

In Memoriam-Dr. Borland.

1t was with great surprise and regret that
the public received the news of the sudden
death of DIR. John Borland, on the afternoon
OF the 2lst nit.
On that day he had made his usual visits
to his patients in Kekaha and district he
returned home and then proceeded to make
friendly call with his family. He had Just
left his friends house and had driven short
distance, when he was seized with a very
severe hemorrhage. He at once drove back !;
but, though everything was done, that kind
usss and anxiety could suggest, he expired
shortly after returning to the house.
The suddenness of his demise startled all
the people here who knew him land these
are many, for, though it Was we'll known
that he was IN delicate state of health, yet
no one had given it a thought that his hold
on life was so slender.
The deceased physician was native of
Greenock, Scotland, and studied medicine
at Glasgow University. While an under
graduate, he acted as pro-seotor to the Pro-
sector OF Anatomy, and after graduation, he
became home surgeon in the Glasgow Royal
Inhrnary to DR.. Perry, and to DR.. Mscewan.
u man OF world wide fame. After gaining
much practical experience thus, he began
pr lotising in Islington, London. There he
was gradually building up good practice
and had just got well established when, I'M
der the strain OF his arduous labors, his
health gave way. He was'compelled to leave
London. and he sought more genial climate
IN the Hawaiian Islands. He came to Kila-
uea, Kauai, IN 1883. having received the ap-
polntment OF Government physician to the
northern district. But the north was not
quite suitable, and two aud one-half years
ago he came TO Waimea. where his useful
career has so suddenly and Unexpectedly
ended.
By his death the community OF Kauai has
lost at once faithful and skillful servant (;
and those who knew him better, genial
companion and kind-hearted and true
friend. In the midst of much weakness he
did his duty courageously and we'll; his
natural cheerfulness of disposition sustained
him when many another man would have
broken down and he went about his work,
when many looking upon him thought him

Return of Queen Kapiolani,

On Tuesday morning last, shortly after
O'Clock, the steamer Australia was signal
led as in sight from Waimanalo, and shortly
after the people began to assemble on the
wharf to receive Her Majesty, the Heir Az
parent, General Dominis, Governor Iaukea,
and the other members of the Royal party.
On nearing the land the steamer was noticed
as flying the Royal standard of Hawaii,
which denoted that the Royal Party was on
board. The steam tug Eleu was soon in
readiness, and with Acting Governor Cieg-
horn and others on board, proceeded out
side to receive the Royal party, and convey
it from the steamer to the landing at the foot
of Fort street.
At the Bell buoy the tug came alongside of
the steamer, and the Royal Standard and
party were safely transferred on board the
Eieu, which Immediately steamed at rapid
rate for the harbor. The two war ships in
port were gaily decorated with bunting
while the merchant vessels also had a credi-
table display IN honor of the occasion. In
addition to the above the war ships Con-
quest and Adams manned their yards. On
the tug reaching the light house, the shore
battery received the party with royal
salute of tweuty-one guns, which was quickly
followed by a similar salute from II. b. NJ
S. Conquest-the Z. 5. S. Adams not being
saluting ship, did not fire.
The tug then steamed to the Inter-Island
wharf, where her Majesty and suite were
received by His Majesty's Ministers, Acting
Chamberlain Hon. A. Rosa, Hon. 9. r.
Bishop, and other notables. Marshal Kaulu-
kou and posse of police maintained order
and cleared the street for the royal party.
On landing the Queen and party embarked
in carriages and were rapidly driven to the
Palace, amid cheers from those assembled
to welcome her return to her native land.
The party seemed to be in the best of health
and much improved iu general appearance
by the trip abroad.

St. Louis College.

Upwards of thousand people assembled
IN the great Hall of st. Louis College to at
tend the closing exercises at this institution.
The opening overture was played by the Col
Iege Orchestra, in excellent time and good
taste. The curtain then rose upon seven
small pupils, who had each small white
shield hanging from his neck. The first one
recited a verse, and then turning his shield
around displayed the letter "W'' Each boy
had his turn until the word "Welcome'' was
formed. 1t was capital idea and met with
the approval of the audience.
Master Eli Crawford then came forward
and delivered an address of welcome. The
entertainment consisted of choruses, among
which the voice of Master Cooper deserves
special mention. Instrumental concert
pieces and two little dramatic sketches, all of
which were well rendered and delighted and
amused the audience III turn. The singing
by the College Mission Choir of the Little
Iradesmen," was especially good and called
forth an encore.
On the conclusion of the exercises the
Princess Llliuokalani, the Princess Kaiulani,
the French Commissioner, the Hon. C. r.
Bishop and the Bishop of Olba were invited
on to the stage. The Hon. G. Bishop being
called upon to speak, said he had listened
with much pleasure to the charming music.
Whatever one undertakes 1t should be done
with thoroughness. 1t was very evident that
IHS LSaouoIS udu tdheu great pains Will their
pupils, and that the latter had been very at
tentive. The exercises had been very credit
able to all concernrd, and he congratulated
them upon the exhibition. A year ago he
listened to the closing exercises, and then
heard some of the boys speak in English who
had also spoken again to-day. They had
made good improvement in their pronuucia-
ton of English. He congratulated the
teachers and all connected with the school.
He hoped they would all enjoy their vacation
and return with fresh vigor to their studies.
audience for their presence. 1t was very
gratifying to see that so many took an inter
est in the work of the school, and especially
was it so to the faithful and devoted teachers.
The prizes we're then distributed and the
audience dispersed.
